The FBI published transcripts of Omar Mateen's calls to 911 during his deadly attack on Orlando gay club Pulse, but "omitted" some references of him pledging loyalty to the Islamic State. The FBI later in the day unredacted and re-released the transcripts.

The Supreme Court ruled, 5-3, that courts don't necessarily have to throw out evidence of crimes that police obtain during illegal searches. There are going to be some very terrible consequences for this decision.

I’d like to think that Preet, being roundly pee-pee schwacked for the Woodchipper Incident, saw the light and made a conversion from humorless statist-fellating douchebag to fearless corruption destroyer.

I’d like to think that, but I’m gonna side with Ken on this one and say that I’m rooting for nobody in this instance.

Maybe there’s some truth to the theory that Trump was doing this as a lark, and never expected to actually be nominated but loved the media attention. I can’t think of any other reason he’d dump a campaign manager that helped lead him to the presumptive nomination of one of the two biggest parties in the US.

What makes this even more of a farce is that Hillary’s campaign tactics are so ham-fisted and obsolete that she’s acting as if Trump paid her to throw the election herself.

That is when she wasn’t calling them “tards” or laughing about how she got a rapist off by humiliating his 12 year old victim. Someone needs to put that tape of her laughing about destroying the 12 year old rape victim into an ad.

At this point, the global economic forecast is so frikkin’ terrible it may be better for Clinton to win. Trump isn’t going to save us from the financial disaster that is looming, so if Clinton wins, she owns it along with Barry.

I think Obama knows that. I also think he wants to make sure his successor gets the blame. So, the question, does he hate Hillary enough to stick her with the blame or will he let DOJ indict her at the last minute and stick Trump with the blame leaving him in charge of the Democratic party? I could see it going either way.

The problem is not Islamic terrorism. It’s YOU, and your pig-headed insistence on freedom.

There’s no rational reason to think Trump will appoint good justices. Any conservative justice worried about his replacement is looking at a minimum of 5 years, and that’s only if Hillary wins. If Trump wins, it’ll be 9+ — five years of Trump and then at least four of a Democrat after him.

Also, because I believe the 2nd would consume itself in a fiery death once they tried to mind read SugarFree. Hopefully the 1st can invent the technology fast enough to prevent The Great Warty migration.

I don’t know. I have given it a lot of thought and if you read it from a different approach you can see that perhaps he was decrying the technocrats and the top men of the 2nd. Remember one individual put the whole shebang in the shitter. An expression of the power of individualism perhaps. Granted this is a generous reading but hey, I am feeling generous.

I read them twice. Once in middle school and one in college. The first time I was young enough to miss most of the “Gee Whizz!” physics, but the second go it was hard to ignore how little math Asimov knew.

Wonder if Comey told Loretta Lynch to go pound sand since Obama has already undermined their investigation of Hillary by endorsing her for President.

And in the legal industry, transcriptionists and translators are generally different people. Possible to be certified as both, but the transcriptionist (court reporter) works with the translator to ensure that the translation is accurate.

This deliciously bizarre web series has reached a conclusion. It was mostly crowd-funded after the first video became popular back in 2011. I really appreciate the subversive vibe and darkly humorous undertone. I had only seen the first video until recently, but I think I can recommend all of it.

If you had shown this to a sesame street age appropriate version of myself it would have been nightmare fodder for a lifetime. Thank goodness I’m a normal and well-adjusted adult capable of dealing with existential dread every day and night.

Well I don’t think a lot of people said that. There was some coverage in France about the imminence of this flood because Paris was not prepared enough. Nobody ever talked about global warming (as least in France).

Although they target widely different issues, these pieces of legislation reflect a highly authoritarian and illiberal brand of progressivism evolving into something of a state religion. On one hand, California cannot tolerate the autonomy of religious institutions if they refuse to embrace the secularist ideology that dominates the state. Even religious clubs on California State University campuses can no longer restrict their leadership to those who actually are believers.

Similarly, the emerging attack on anyone questioning climate change orthodoxy represents another kind of religion, one that gives officially sanctioned science something close to papal infallibility. Despite the fact that there remain widely divergent views on both the severity of climate change and how best to address it, one has to adhere to the accepted “science” ? or else.

Perhaps most shocking of all, this new spirit of progressive intolerance is affecting other institutions, notably academia and the media. Long incubators for free thinking, the academy, as liberal legal scholars such as Alan Dershowitz note, now routinely violates due process.

I haven’t seen a single news outlet actually say the obvious – which is that everyone, including any reporters, thought it was a retarded, naked attempt to skew perceptions which actually undermined their attempts by shifting attention to themselves.

when you talk about “media bias”, its really only about 1/3 in the way actual stories are written about/reported. I’d say 2/3 are simply “what they choose to ignore”.

It’s kind of sad I won’t be around to view and enjoy The Hangover III. What an awesome trilogy. Xx xx, don’t make anymore Hangovers after the third, takes away the originality of its foundation. World War Z looks good and The Walking Dead season 3 (second half) looked intriguing. Damn, gonna miss shark week

Media are committed to telling the truth and nothing but the truth, just not the whole truth.

Let me throw a slightly different interpretation at you: many on the left (including, obviously, the media) truly believe that (1) most Muslims are peaceful and (2) that most Americans are always ready to embark on a “anti-Muslim backlash.” It is not beyond the realms of possibility that the media went along with the redaction in order to “protect” Muslims across America from being slaughtered.

I wouldn’t be surprised if banging her bony ass is enough to get him selected as the next Bond. Would be a great way for the producers to cash in on the media buzz before he eventually dumps her for some other hot piece.

I don’t get it. And that is not sour grapes. I am fully aware there are tons of men who are a lot better looking than I ever will be. I just don’t see him as being one of them. He looks like a creepy dork who hired a personal trainer.

Benedict Cumberbatch is tall and not conventionally handsome, but there is some intangible thing about him that makes him attractive. Guys don’t understand because they can be attracted to a beautiful girl with the personality of a stapler. If women were like that then we’d give a shit about male models.

OT: Many of left acquaintances complain that we are entirely unable to do any studies on gun violence because the NRA has “banned” research on gun violence. Am I correct that the “ban” is solely the Dickey Amendment and that said amendment only “bans” research by the CDC, rather than the entire federal government? And further that this does not and in fact cannot have any impact on privately funded research?

Tell them that they’re full of shit. ANYBODY can do research on ‘gun violence’. What the Federal Government will not do is give the CDC funding for such a study because that is not the CDC’s role but of law enforcement agencies. Gun violence is not a communicable disease.

I think so; the only thing that is “Banned” is the CDC treating it as a “public health” issue which would allow guns to be regulated under an entirely new body of legislation. Its a backdoor for banning weapons.

When I was a kid, my uncle worked at an auto repair company that had a junkyard behind it. They had a bunch of German Shepard / Wolfe hybrids. Those are the scariest fucking dogs I’ve ever seen, they were huge, I mean I was just a kid, but they were huge and scary as hell.

I wouldn’t go near them. One of my cousins kept going out and trying to pet them and /or taunting them. His dad kept warming him to stay away from them. One day one decided to get after him and he was lucky to get on the roof of a car and his dad had to rescue him. He was pissed. After that we weren’t allowed near the junkyard anymore.

My dad had a German shepherd we think was part wolf. She was just too savy and smart not to have been. She would do things like be able to tell when there was a rattlesnake ahead and be smart enough to avoid it. Normally a domestic dog will stick its nose right towards the snake and get bit, unless he has been taught otherwise. Not her. She could also stand on posts and shit the way that dog is doing in some of those pictures.

I just got done arguing with one of the stupidest progs I’ve yet encountered. It’s kind of a long story how the discussion led up to this, but she was talking about how she had been learning about Nepal, and how the protest ten percent of the country there only has something like 2% of the wealth while the richest 10% has 40% and how this is the most horrible injustice since ever. I pointed out that in terms of normal distribution that’s actually pretty equal, but and she lost it.

She was telling me that it’s only fair if any 10% of people control 10% of the wealth, and she couldn’t get over this lunacy no matter how much I tried arguing with her. I tried to explain to her what the words “richest” and “poorest” meant and how math actually fucking works, but she wasn’t having it. I explained that what she was proposing meant that there by definition couldn’t be any “rich” or “poor” people at all and she was proposing an actual hardcore Marxist viewpoint, then she called me a “paranoid rightwinger who sees Communism everywhere”, laughed, and practically skipped away thinking she won the debate.

Did she mention how she was going to accomplish this equal distribution of wealth without throwing people in prison for having too much stuff–or does the prospect of throwing people in prison for saving their money just not phase her?

I honestly don’t even think she was even considering that what she was calling for was even distribution. She claimed that she didn’t have a problem with having rich people (and called me paranoid for suggesting she was) she just thought the numbers should “line up” and “be fair”, with very little thought into what any of it actually meant.

Honestly now that it’s been a couple hours and I’ve cooled off from my initial anger over the sheer stupidity, it was kind of fascinating.

I played the game of Monopoly last week for the first time in 30 years. Like always, no one ever plays it out. Perhaps there are electronic web versions that lets it play out in less than 8 hours. It’s still a good game to extent that it lets a player understand some basics about “wealth”, like the risk of being house poor. And it’s a good game for 24 yo. Load the dice for her and see how generous and understanding she is even with friends and family as the other players.

There should be a couple more “pay tax’ squares on the board. And you need the IT help to quickly calculate money on hand plus the owned property value. Tax them both!, to make it real.

“Donald Trump has dumped campaign manager . . . which seems to be getting about as much press as the Orlando attack transcripts.”

Isn’t he the one that allegedly grabbed the arm of a reporter from Breitbart, dragged her to the ground, kicked her while she was down, beat her with a baseball bat, threw dog crap in her hair, dumped her purse out on the ground, threw her keys down a storm drain, and called her a stupid bitch while all the other misogynist Trump delegates danced around and sang glory hallelujah?

Or did all those accusations turn out to be . . . ahem . . . horseshit?

Not true. The gulags will swell. Our socialist slavers will continue to chop away at that ancient and capitalist tool, the Constitution. Big Government will march on. The Glorious People’s Revolution will accelerate until we all reach the final goal of enslavement, imprisonment and oppression. Let’s all give thanks to the Soviet Supreme Court for this recent decision. They’re doing their part to advance socialist slavery in this country. Are you?

RE: Three members of the New York Police Department and a fund-raiser for Mayor Bill de Blasio were busted for corruption charges and bribery.

This can’t be right. NYPD enjoys a sterling reputation for efficiency, high moral standards and honesty. When was the last time the NYPD had a scandal? Can anyone even remember? DeBlasio is as pure as the driven snow. He did his level best to help the wonderful, benevolent and freedom loving Sandadistas back in the ’80’s. Plus, he is does his level best to eliminate private schools in NYC and keep the government run public school monopoly thriving in his town. That should be enough to tell anyone where’s he is coming from.

The Supreme Court also declined to hear a challenge to Connecticut’s law banning some semi-automatic weapons and large capacity magazines.

Reading the opinion in Heller back in the day, I was pretty disappointed. Its a weak-ass opinion, written by weak-ass judges, mapping out for the gun-grabbers how they can just keep on infringing the RKBA without having to worry too much about SCOTUS.
